I'm sending this message to the mailing site this time, I don't know whether anyone can help me further.

Yes Dan, its the only way I can get it loaded, dbus is supposed to
activate it but won't, I've tried everything I know, which is not
much because I'm not a programmer.

I should make it clear that I'm trying to connect via the command
prompt as a user, although I get the same result as root.  I assume this
is possible or should I be in a desktop manager with the applet etc?
